Your First Sunday Visit﻿﻿Come on down! It's a big room. Don't be afraid to sit close enough to see the action, especially if you have children with you. They will enjoy the sights and sounds better if they feel a part of what is going on. Up or down? You will notice an Episcopal service includes a lot of getting up and down. You may wonder when do I stand or sit? As a rule of thumb we stand to praise, sit to learn and kneel to pray. That said, anything goes. Whatever your practice is or whatever you are comfortable with is fine. It doesn't matter as much where your knees are, but where your heart is. The same goes for crossing yourself. Some people are comfortable and to some its foreign. Time for Holy Communion--Every baptized Christian is welcome at the Lord's table. The ushers will guide us row by row to the communion rail. You will notice some people sip from the cup, some dip their wafer into the wine, and some don't partake in the wine at all. All are fine. Whatever you choose. If you would rather just receive a blessing, that's fine too. Just come forward and cross your arms across your chest. This lets the Priest and Ministers of Communion know you would like a blessing. We go back to our seats via the outside aisles so we don't bump into one another.After the service--We hope you will join us for coffee upstairs in the parish hall. (or in the summer, for iced tea on the front steps) We would love the opportunity to get to know you a bit.

Becoming a memberBecoming a member can be as easy as attending worship faithfully and receiving Holy Communion. A member also gives of his time and talent. In other words, if there is something you are interested in or have a passion for, we hope you will share it. Giving monetarily to enhance God's work in the world and for the greater good of the whole is also something we do. This takes place by pledging an amount you are comfortable giving on a weekly or monthly basis.
